Can I ask how you have done your suspension? From the first pic it looks like you have a continuous loop going through the channel and the you have attached your webbing directly to the loop. The webbing then has a couple of half hitches in it to set the suspension length (like the Ray Mears method without the rings). Is this correct?

Your in with a lot of us now. Good work!! (except mine is my camping hammock )

I had to take out the gathered end in my 90's because it brought the sides up too high and made floppy side issues. I also don't notice a "give" in any of these. Perhaps I misunderstood that part though. We'll have to have a "Tablecloth hang" sometime What a colorful woods that would make

Will miss you guys at the hang this weekend.

I didn't notice what I would call "give" either. Certainly not as stretchy as a lot of the ripstop I've used.

DivaB, you ended up with a fanfold gather right? I'd think the channel end would make a cocoon out of it myself. I need to play with that 90 again. I kind of put it aside after I finished it. I just did a grab and gather from the middle.
